Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After owning my brand new Kia RIO for only 2 weeks, I experienced a tire blowout on the freeway. Fortunately, I was not injured. This car is equipped with kumho tires. I do not feel safe driving this car. I have reported this incident to both Kia and kumho who are both wholly unconcerned with this product failure.”
